I'm not saying it won't happen, because teams are clearly looking at it, but I don't see the benefit of it.
Getting three GEARS up to the pilots in auto means that only 3 are now needed to get the third ROTOR spinning, and "only" nine to complete all four. It might be more about saving time than scoring auto points. Maybe.
